Gacha Sovereign
chapter-872

A Teleportation Array appeared in a certain room as four figures emerged. As usual, Alex felt uncomfortable and immediately sealed his cultivation.

He then looked up, scanning his surroundings. But what he found was shocking.

In front of him was a throne with someone sitting on it, and he was familiar with this guy. To the side of this guy were two old people with a shocked expression. He then looked at the red carpet and the purple wall as if he realized what kind of setting he was in.

A few soldiers that seemed to be not humans surrounded them with their spear pointing forward.

Alex scratched the back of his head and sighed, looking at the middle-aged man before him. "It's been a while, huh… Zhar. Wait. Did I spell it right?"

"Yeah. You are right." Alicia nodded.

"They know our Demon King?"

"Protect the king? They might be assassins."

"Who are you?!"

The soldiers were glaring at the group.

"Still, am I really fated with a throne room?" Alex was bewildered. It was his third time to be teleported to the throne room, and he started getting sick of it.

"You…" Zhar seemed to recall someone in his mind before gasping. "You are Alexander Sirius! No… I should say the Fire God."

Zhar rose from his seat, wondering if he needed to kneel.

"Ahaha… To think you still remember me. Well, we only met a few times in the past." Alex laughed.

The demons were confused, not knowing what to do. Alex's name was like thunder reverberating in one's ears, so they stood still while waiting for the others.

"Anyway, I am not going to do anything here. I am here to visit my home, so you don't need to pay attention to me. I will probably disappear again in a week or so." Alex waved his hand and turned around. "Well, I will go ahead so as to not bother the demon king."

"…"

"Let's go now." Alex smiled at the girls. Since they didn't really have any connection with the demon king, except for Sherry, who met him together with Alex, they decided to follow him.

"Wait!"

Alex halted his step and turned around.

"There is something big going on with your home."

"Something big?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows.

"Your niece's power has grown too strong, so many people are debating on how to control her, lest she is going to take over the world."

"Oh?!" Alex remembered giving her a wind gem, but she promised him not to use her power mindlessly unless she wanted to get punished by him. "Has she done something wrong with her power?"

"Not really. Except breaking all the records you set, she doesn't do anything other than enjoying her time." Zhar shook his head.

"And why would they pay attention to her?"

"They are just afraid. You were not here for a long time because you ascended as soon as you reached the top. Meanwhile, your niece has the ability to conquer the world but has no clue how to ascend. That's why they are afraid and want to control her, you should know a bit about politics, right?"

"So, who wants to control my niece?"

"A new kingdom. After the Zircodina Kingdom lost its power, the kingdom was ruined. Their queen decided to go to the Acacia Kingdom to avoid any further confrontation. And it turned out she was betrayed by a few people in her kingdom, and they decided to build a new kingdom.

"They summoned a hero to gain more bargaining power. Since they will look bad if your niece attacks the hero and the new kingdom, they don't do anything, considering the hero has yet to do anything other than leveling up.

"However, we have found that the hero is a murderer and a psychopath, albeit can't do more because we haven't gotten enough proof to justify the reason we killed him."

"I see. Now is not a hero made from H and Ero, but this evil spawn… Well, I will get more information by returning to the Acacia Kingdom."

"There is one more thing. It seems the so-called hero and the new kingdom is trying to make a political marriage with your niece. The meeting date is today."

"Hmm…" Alex thought for a moment and looked at the girls. "Considering the distance, we might probably need five minutes to run, right?"

"Yeah." Alicia nodded before asking Zhar. "Do you mind if we create a little destruction outside this city?"

"Hmm?! Your power is above me, so I have no control over you. But if you want to do that, I can't thank you enough for not destroying this city."

"Then, we will bid farewell now." Alex threw a small strength pill to him. It was a rank 1 pill, so the effect shouldn't be that strong and make him overpowered. "It's a strength pill. Treat it as my thanks for the information."

"How about we race to that place instead of using my Teleportation Array? The first to reach the kingdom will be the winner. And the winner can get a reward. I am still thinking about the reward though." He and the girls then left the giant door and found a balcony where they could leap outside the city.

The girls' expressions brightened as they were pretty fired up for this small competition.

Zhar and the others obviously followed him and opened the window to watch them. But it was at this moment four loud noises shook the entire city.

*Boom!*

If one took a look at the source of the sound, they would find four craters created because of the sonic boom. Their speed was already above the speed of sound, so it was normal to create a sonic boom.

They used their fastest speed to run to the other side of the world, checking how long they needed to take to go to the opposite of the world.

…

In Acacia Kingdom's throne room, Carollus was sitting on the throne, looking at two people in front of him without any expression. Meanwhile, Raymond was making an angry face, trying to scare the two people away.

At the same time, Maria seemed to be present here, overlooking the entire situation. It might be due to the fact that this matter was a human race matter, she decided to oversee the entire negotiation while taking neither side.

But there was one person who had a sour face. She was the former queen of Zircodina Kingdom, Rieze. Besides her was a beautiful young girl that looked at this meeting without any expression. While standing behind her were her father and mother.

In the middle of the room, a middle-aged man was bowing his head slightly as he proceeded with the discussion. "It is my honor to be present here in front of the Saintess, the Wind Saint, and especially, His Majesty, Carollus.

"I am Ravan, coming here to give you good news. It seems that our hero has fallen in love with the Wind Saint, Alexa Van Rizertia, so I would like to represent my kingdom to ask for the Wind Saint's hand in marriage."

The young man next to him smirked while still looking down. The first time he met her was when he was a Rank 7. After killing many people, he tried to kill the rumored Alexa, but every single time he failed.

Because she promised Alex to not cause a problem, she let him go, but he kept fighting her. Knowing that he couldn't defeat her, he was planning to poison her but to no avail. In the end, he decided to do this.

Since Alexa was a beauty as well, it was better to pin her on the bed like how she needed to be. Using the power of the new kingdom and the hero's status, he needed to strike this deal.

Alexa usually put on a cold and aloof expression, so many people imagined how beautiful she would be if she just smiled.

Carollus narrowed his eyes and didn't beat around the bush. "Rejected."

If the one talking like this was any other ruler, they might not be able to use this kind of tone. But Carollus had the protection of the Fire God and Alexa, so no one dared to have a thought of his tone.

"Your Majesty… I hope that you rethink your decision." The ambassador tried to negotiate. "They are matched by Heaven. Don't you think so?"

"No, not at all! How do you even know Heaven matches them? Even my Alexander doesn't say anything about it… Are you a God?" Carollus rejected him again even more harshly.

The ambassador started getting pissed. When he pulled Alex's name here, everything was different. Although Alex hadn't appeared for a decade, he still appeared when the Acacia Kingdom had trouble. So, many people believed that Alex would appear again if the kingdom faced a problem. This made many people hesitate to pick up a fight against this kingdom.

The hero used this timing to warn Carollus as well that he would become stronger in the future, strong enough to rival Alexa.

"Your Majesty. Our hero could become a Rank 7 within a year and became a Rank 8 with another year. In the future, he will be able to reach Rank 10. As you might know, I believe that only those who were summoned from another world have the possibility to reach Rank 10. And they have the power to grant the qualification to reach Rank 10 to other people, like how Fire God did in the past."

Carollus' expression turned grim. Only the dean knew the details of ascension, so he was also troubled over this matter. He remembered that Alex told him that he couldn't easily return to this place, so if what he said was true, then it would be troublesome.

He couldn't allow the hero to reach Rank 10.

Still, the last thing he wanted to do was to marry Alexa to this murderer. He was biding his time to investigate and get enough proof to show the world that Alexa killed the hero for a reason. So, he intended to buy time as long as possible.

"Rejected. Alexa's husband is not decided by me. Her uncle has specifically said that her other half will be her own choice, so I am going to respect it. If I couldn't even respect the words of our Guardian God, who should I respect?" Carollus snorted. "You can scram now!"

"Sir…" Suddenly, a loud commotion seemed to take place outside the room before someone pushed the door open.

"Haha… I was waiting to listen to your conversation, but to think there is still an old man who has a childish dream like that, it's very funny. And what you are uttering right now is pure gibberish. He is qualified to be the husband of my niece? How about I throw him outside this world first to see if he can survive in a harsher environment. Anyway, Uncle, a good tone just now. Yeah, throw them away!" The man laughed before glancing at Alexa. "Yo, little Alexa. This uncle has returned, where is my hug?"

*Thud—!*
